Full-term babies in NICU: Kate & Joanne’s stories of HIE & feeling “out of place” | S3E41

The NICU Space by Miracle Moon

In recognition of February being Full-Term Awareness Month, Kate and Joanne are joining us to share the unique experience of having a full-term baby in neonatal care, why it can provide different challenges to having a pre-term baby there, and advice on how they handled invalidation and minimisation from others.

We hope this episode helps you to realise that whatever has led you and your baby to NICU, you’re not alone and are always welcome in The NICU Space.

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

- The HIE events that led to Kate & Joanne’s full-term babies needing NICU stays

- Developmental milestone worries

- Challenges that come with having a full-term baby in NICU

- How to handle people minimising your experience

- Kate & Joanne’s advice for other full-term NICU parents
